Oct 1, 2013

Michinori
Tanaka of Japan, will defend his Title for the first time in
hostile territory against rising MMA star from Guam, Kyle Aguon,

Guam.

Aguon earned the right to challenge Tanaka for the belt by
defeating Hawaii’s Russel Doane at PXC-38 in August in a tight
decision, bringing Aguon’s current winning streak to 4 straight. At
24 years old, Aguon has used his sizable frame, reach and strong

Tanaka, on the other hand, does not intend on giving up his
belt t yet. At 23 years old, Tanaka is one of Japan’s top young
fighters with an undefeated record of 8 – 0, including impressive
performances against Russel Doane, Caleb
Vallotton, and former Champ, Crisanto
Pitpitunge.

Tanaka (5’5”, 135 lbs) captured the Titel at PXC-36 with a
unanimous decision win over former Filipino champion Crisanto
Pitpitunge in Manila. This will be his second fight on Guam in
his pro career, his first five victories coming in Japan’s Shooto
fighting organization.

Tanaka versus Aguon is expected to showcase world-class grappling
and submissions attempts, although both fighters throw heavy
punches and possess knock-out abilities. This main-event will also
be the first PXC title fight in Guam in over a year.

PXC-40 will take place on Friday, October 25th, and will feature a
stacked fight card, with professional MMA matchups showcasing some
of the best fighters from Guam, Hawaii, California and Japan.
